It was once believed that you could predict the harshness of an upcoming winter by looking at the stripes of wooly bear caterpillars. A large central brown stripe indicates a mild winter, while a small stripe means it will be harsh 🐛

The last of the giant flower beetle saga...

Mecynorrhina Ugandesis

The very first one I ever reared, although they were a black-orange variant. I think the blue-pink is so iconic on them though
